Bitcoin (BTC) even formed a low close to the $7,150 mark before it corrected higher a bit. It appears that there is a formation of a short-term contracting triangle with resistance close to the $7,240 on the hourly chart of Bitcoin (BTC) against the US dollar. Moreover, the 23.6 percent Fibonacci retracement level of the previous swing from the high of $7,689 to the low of $7,159 is close to the $7,284 mark.

More importantly, the 100-hourly simple moving average is positioned close to the $7,300 mark. As such, a successful close over the $7,240 and $7,340 levels might trigger a decent upward movement. The next major resistance of the digital currency is close to the $7,400 mark or the 50 percent Fib retracement level of the previous swing from the high of $7,689 to the low of $7,159.

BTC Needs to Break Over $7,500 to Begin a Strong Upward Move

Furthermore, there is a key connecting bearish trendline forming with resistance close to the $7,480 on the same chart. To begin a strong upward move, the price of BTC must settle over the $7,400 and $7,500 resistance levels. After those levels, the next major resistance level of BTC is close to the $7,700 mark. A break over this level might pave the way for more gains towards the $8k resistance level.

On the downside, the price of the digital currency could plunge below the $7,160 and $7,120 support levels. If the bears gain momentum below the $7,120 mark, there is a high possibility that BTC might plunge below the $7k support area. If that happens, the price of Bitcoin (BTC) could return to the $6,600 area.
